Prezzo Italian owner reports turnover increases to £100.2m and Ebitda up 300% following ‘robust turnaround’ of brand: Prezzo Italian, part of Brava Hospitality Group, has reported turnover increased to £100.2m for the year ending 31 December 2025 compared with £92.6m the previous year underpinned by a “robust turnaround” at the brand. Ebitda was up to £2.8m, a £2.1m year-on-year improvement and more than 300% higher than 2024. Prezzo Italian delivered full-year like-for-like growth of 8%, with December like-for-likes reaching 8.2%, “reflecting sustained momentum into the final quarter of the year”. The group said a key driver of performance was Prezzo Italian’s targeted refurbishment programme with 12 restaurants refurbished during the year, delivering like-for-like growth of 20.6% post-reopening at year end. Of the refurbished sites, ten recorded their strongest trading weeks on record. Alongside this, the core group of 84 Prezzo Italian restaurants delivered like-for-like growth of 7%, with 26 locations achieving record trading weeks, “demonstrating broad-based performance beyond refurbished sites”. James Brown, chief executive of Brava Hospitality Group, said: “These results show what Prezzo Italian is capable of when we focus on the fundamentals – great food, relevant restaurants and disciplined execution. 2025 was a transformation year for the business. The progress we’ve made gives us real confidence as we continue to build a stronger, more competitive restaurant brand for the long term, while also creating a platform for future growth across our portfolio.” Building on this momentum, three further Prezzo Italian restaurants – Manchester Media City, Fareham and Eastleigh – have relaunched this week following refurbishment, with Braintree and Milton Keynes currently undergoing refurbishment, marking the start of an ambitious programme that will see around 40 additional restaurants refurbished during the year ahead. The group said the year marked a transformation phase for the business, including the creation of a more streamlined support function, with cost savings redirected into enhancing the guest experience and strengthening restaurants. This was supported by a simplified food menu, designed to improve kitchen efficiency, consistency and speed of service. Prezzo Italian served 4.8 million covers during the year with 2.46 million pasta dishes and 339,364 carbonara dishes sold. In April 2025, Prezzo Italian launched its loyalty platform, Club Prezzo, which now has more than 350,000 registered users. Club Prezzo gives members access to exclusive offers and special member pricing on favourite Italian classics. The group said Prezzo Italian’s dine at home proposition also delivered standout performance, with like-for-like growth of 42.2%, “reflecting growing demand for at-home occasions and the strength of the brand beyond the restaurant”. Brava Hospitality Group has also signed a partnership agreement to bring Jamie’s Italian back to the UK high street. The first new Jamie’s Italian under the partnership will open in Leicester Square this year.
